The New York Jets may have another decision to make at kicker after Jason Sanders struggled during Friday night’s 23-6 preseason loss to the New York Giants . New York appeared to settle its kicking competition earlier in the week by releasing Cade York ,

The New York Jets have looked pretty good in the preseason and are entering the season with some optimism. Jason Sanders won the kicking job with the Jets but is a player who hasn’t looked the part in training camp.

The Jets appeared to end their kicking competition this week when they released Cade York, but Jason Sanders's performance on Friday night may have opened things back up.

Sanders appeared likely to operate as New York's starting kicker in 2026 after the team let Cade York go on Tuesday, but after the team added Blake Grupe on Monday, Sanders will hit the open market. The kicker made two of three field-goal attempts and went 2-for-3 on PATs during the preseason, and he will now look for another opportunity elsewhere.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn had a strong message for kicker Jason Sanders after he missed a few against the Giants.

The Jets’ kicking competition is over — for now, at least. They are waiving Cade York as special teams coordinator Chris Banjo announced Tuesday morning that Jason Sanders has won the job.

Sanders was signed to the Jets' practice squad Monday. Sanders has been through quite the ordeal with the Jets, going from being the presumed starter, to being released, and now back with the team's practice squad. Sanders will provide New York with an experienced option to turn to if new addition Blake Grupe struggles early in the 2026 campaign.

Analyzing whether Jason Sanders or Cade York has the leg up in the Jets' ongoing kicker competition as training camp and the preseason continue.

The New York Jets release a former Miami Dolphins All-Pro after he had previously been named the team’s Week 1 starter.
